The Activate Australia’s Skills campaign is an alliance campaign of businesses, unions, social services and community organisations working to improve skills and qualifications recognition policy in order to address the shortages crippling Australian communities, families and businesses. The campaign is convened by Settlement Services International (SSI).
Activate Australia’s Skills is a non-partisan campaign that cross political, social and economic divides. Our supporters represent interests from across the full spectrum of ideas and perspectives, but are united in our desire to see every Australian reach their full potential for the benefit of everyone. If we Activate Australia’s Skills, everyone wins.
The Activate Australia’s Skills Blueprint maps out four key changes that all parties must commit to ahead of the next election:
Set up migrant employment pathways hubs with skills recognition navigators to get qualified people working in their professions again.
- Establish one national governance system including an Ombudsman
- Create a seamless process with reduced red tape
- Remove cost and information barriers through financial support and an online portal
- Set up migrant employment pathways hubs with skills recognition navigators to get qualified people working in their professions again.
